I'm just a multiboxer who got highly rated, that's not comparable to someone who dominated every match he was in with no losses. A lot has changed since then and with the current class balance and overabundance of AoE and AoE CC that's probably never going to happen again for multiboxer or otherwise.
big gz to the 2 top arena boxers: Kromtor (pos 26) & Kruschpak (pos 36)
i'm still waiting for a Kromtor vid!
If you can't post videos due to performance issues, could you at least post some screenshots? That would greatly benefit many of us!
Random questions for the 1dk + 4 ret folks:
Worth Including consecration in spam sequence? use situationally only (vs melee cleave?)? or Never due to mana costs? I currently do not use it at all in arenas
Always do preemptive divine shield ->divine sacrifice in order to cover the first 40 seconds of combat? I'm currently using them reactively on whichever pally gets focused first pops DS->DS, though, this sucks when they focus my dk or split DPS which seems to happen far more often then having them focus a paladin
Blades edge: Riding under bridge and immediate DG to bring the fight to the ground (in most cases) or just ride up enemy ramp on your side and fight on the bridge, which do you prefer?
Vs 3dps 2 healer teams, who do you prefer dropping first? healer or dps?
Take the risk on initial gibs or hold cooldowns for guarenteed kills later into the fight? I began arenas using DG + rockets + 5x darkmoon cards to blow someone up in 1-2 globals, though this is tough to pull off against any halfway decent team multiple times. I'm thinking that jus topening with popped AP trinkets and holding rockets seems like a safer and repeatable strategy?
Just a big'ol'grats from me!
Keep recking, and stay out of my battle group!
Multiple posts deleted - flamewars are not tolerated here.
Next person that tries to start one will get themselves a 72-hour ban (I'm looking at you hotbabe).

I couldn't agree more. I kinda understand both sides here. But at the same time, I'd rather not lock out anyone from content. If you dont' want to share information, don't. If you do, do. People have PMed me and I've replied back, but the conversations have all died with me putting an idea to them. So that is about where I stand on the idea.
I'd like to say grats on your gladiator titles that will be incoming shortly. At least give us a screenshot of your characters on the frost wyrms when you get them ;)Quote:

This is common sense i respect that, its fierce competition so he needs to keep it competitve.
90% of people i have asked for thier macro and indepth setup they dont reply, (its a gamble just to help me) but its up to them. we all share but some information is kept personal.
Use our brains, follow others advice and build a winning strategy
Need top 5 for gladiator in 5s. Best of luck Krom!Quote:

But that wasn't enough, you had to also show that it was you who did it and that you had the power... of an admin on a website... If you wanted to be fair, you would ban all the people who participated in a flame war, not just the one who started it. And by the way, if you didn't delete the posts you could trace back to see who really started the flame war, it wasn't me. I just dared to say something that happened to hit a soft spot in some people.Quote:

Very nice achievement. ;)
Kromtor fact #7
When Kromtor does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.
Can he break 2400?!!M!@M:ds
Yes he can!Quote:

Its 2 weeks from that blizzard announce a new season so it can be 4 weeks or even more.Quote:

Somewhere along the lines I remember Kromtor said it was simply a zerg fest for him. This is totally NOT just zerg fest lol.
There are secrets that he is not sharing. I can't imagine to win (at least I am not winning playing this way) by attacking and locking down 1 target while letting 4 others running free. They CC me to no end.
edit: when heyaz posted his video, I see clearly how he wins. Swift switching on burst targets. Helping out healing with 4 shamans. Utilizing thunder storm + earthbind to avoid/kill melees. And of cuz having an elite priest friend.

For the dk + 4 paladins, I have not yet grasped a great strategy to play those CC heavy teams.
target X arena macros for HoJ etc... divine sacrafice rotations etc... he already said some of hit strats. Combining those with basic rushdown would work. Ofc there is more to it, and skill involved. But just like anyone who plays games and is very very good at it, or has a talent for something you can't expect them to just give everything away.Quote:

Again, awesome work!
2503! Keep pusching Relentless Krom!:o
according to http://www.arenajunkies.com/calculator/ for his battlegroup he needs to be in the top 5 to get gladiator. 5th place currently is at 2555, so it should be possible for kromtor to hit it, given his record, this week its 10-0..... gogogo!
